The true piracy is when people label it "piracy" in the first place. They are hijacking a loaded word in a transparent attempt to make normal activity sound wrong before we're even allowed to talk about it.

South Carolina: where racism is literally required by law.

This really just shows you the right-wing point-of-view. What most normal people would consider rape, Elon Musk views as doing someone a favor.

Hello, my fellow human beings. I am totally not a bot, and I just spent the past few days doing some $HOBBY. I just $EMOTION it so much!

I've been listening to Andre Antunes quite a bit here, recently.

Would you rather see them begging in the streets?

Microsoft says it remains on track to preview Recall with Windows Insiders on Copilot Plus PCs in October, after the company has had more time to make major changes to Recall.

Just in time for Halloween. That'll be sure to give people a good scare.

Now the question is whether ISPs or labels can offer the "supreme" court the bigger bribe.

Trump, meanwhile, takes the 1-point lead over Harris in North Carolina, with 48 percent support to her 47 percent.

It's progress, but there's still a ways to go.

Accessory to a crime, you mean. They should lock all those damn criminals away.

 

I just have to say, after having booted into Windows, that Linux is so much nicer than Windows when it comes to doing system "updates."

So, here I am, sitting in my chair for about 20 minutes looking at a mostly black screen and a highly dubious looking percentage number going up very slowly. It tells me that Windows is "updating" and that I should keep the computer turned on. Good thing I have the computer turned on or I wouldn't know that I shouldn't have it turned off, right?

Anyway, I start to think about how this experience goes in Linux. In my experience, I do "system" updates about once a month, and I can see each individual package being installed (if I glance away from my browser session, that is). In Windows, I have no choice but to sit here and wonder if the system will even work again.

Windows decides that it wants to update drivers, apparently (I honestly have no idea what it's doing, which is part of what pisses me off), because it reboots the computer. Then it reboots again. Then, eventually, everything goes back to the familiar Windows desktop. WTF?

How anyone could prefer Windows to Linux is truly a mystery to me.
